Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- DebJTravelsTorquay, Australia10 contributionsIt wouldn't surprise me if Kenny had organised the magical sunny and still morning on Ohope beach as everything about our kayak trip was perfect. Safety and comfort were first on the list and I set out with a comfy life vest and wetsuit shorts he supplied. Barely a minute into our paddle he pointed out a young seal who was also enjoying the still water and lack of crowds. The beauty of a local and knowledgable guide meant I didn't miss the gannets which flew overhead or the penguins that darted past us. Kenny has the charm and humour of an ex Glaswegian and has lived in the area for about 30 years. We paddled to coves and rock pools that you could never have found on your own while he explained the history of the magnificent Bay of Plenty. We pulled the kayaks onto a deserted beach and enjoyed a delicious muffin and cup of tea (he even had a great selection of herbal teas). On the trip back we could see the volcanic White Island in the distance as well as the closer islands off Whakatane. Kenny took some great shots of me paddling and made sure I was back on the beach in time to drive to Auckland for my flight home. I'm already planning a return trip and will definitely be arranging another trip with KG Kayaks. It was great value as well as great fun.Written 15 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- _kjvthompsonTauranga, New Zealand10 contributionsWe took three of our grandchildren on the boat trip to Moutohora Island yesterday. It was a beautiful day and Tania, Mac and Fiona looked after us very well, sharing their knowledge about the Island. We were delighted to get a really good look at a Tuatara and fleeting glimpses of Tieke. The grandchildren also had a great time trying to dig a hot water pool.Written 17 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
